I popped out from the door and pick'

maining until I hud three skins In
place. would have pcnlated longoi
hid ahe not run out to upbraid me,
scolding like vixen. Then begun the
phase of warfare I had been dreading,
the lending of Are-arrows. None bit
the roof; and while they were prepar
ing more Ore I ruahed forth and (lu
Ulied (ins aide of the roof.
The girl scolded ma o If I had been
a wayward child. Her gruvlty and
crlouuieae became her prettily. The
little lecture wns Interrupted by un
other flight of burning arrowa 'lids
time they bad the range and we heard
two strike ou the fool. Ilefore I knew
what she was doing the bud stepped
out to observe bow tier scheme win
working. I followed and picked ber
up and carried her Inalde.
"Anyway, mister, there ain't any er
rors on the roof," she told me aa I
stood ber on ber feet "Points
couldut git any hold 00 them skins
uit slithered off,"
Between volleys was the golden
time for work. I brcgrd her to keep
under cover and went to fltilah patch
ing tho aouth ild. This time the foe
win awaiting my appearance and de
livered crushing volley the moment
I cleurtHl the d ir. Koine of (lie lend
whlilled unwholesoiuely che. A voice
shouted loudly and tea li.dlitna, select
ed for their Uimens of fmt, come
raring arroaa the opening. It wae
grimly alKUlfleunt Hint they were
armed with a no a only. They were de
termined to bring the flglit to cl
quarters. I entered tin cabin is the
girl beg"n firing from the rear loop
hole. "Here they come from all direc
tional They tneun It this lliuei" alie
cried.
The attack wus perflated ii( ontll
one brave was backing the dixit wltb
bli ax. It la peculiar fact thut wltb
them at auch clone auartere none of
their number was mortally wounded.
Douhtleia we were nervous and a bit
confuaed by the attuck being presaed
on three aides while some of them
equally climbed on to the root and
dlatodgedi some of ihe skins. I have
no cleur recollection of details. I
know we durted from side to side and
illai homed the two rifles snd the mus
kets. The room was thick w ltb smoke
and I recall tuy fear lest those on the
root should make an opening and
Jump down upon us.
It waa Dot until they begun to full
bock that I discovered the girl bad
been more calm tliun U for she bnd re
fused to dlschurge ber (datol. I
peered from a loophole snd saw them
running for the woods and not a
wen pou la the cabin was loaded. One
ul their outuber bad been bit In the
foot and waa limping along wltb two
men helping bltu. I'robuhly he bad
been lilt while climbing onto the roof,
hla fool coming tn range wltb one ot
the loopholes as a niurket wus dis
charged. I loaded rnpldly to gi-t one of the
three men inuklng off together, but
the moment I opened the door a
warning was shouted from the lender
In the woods and the wounded man
waa dropped In a little hollow. Ills
anditnnta raced off In different di
rections. The hollow coulalnlng the
wounded mno wus too slight effec
tually to protect liltn, and opening the
door eullU'tctitly to accommodate my
rlfltt-hurrel I would huve stirred hint
up bad not the girl thrust ber hand
over the flint and at the same time
pulled me backward, I opened my
mouth to rebuke her, but she clnpid
hand over niy mouth and pointed
toward (lit room. Then pulling my
ear down to her Hps ahe whlaperod:
'They didn't all quit the roof,
mister. I heard 1 little noise np
there."
I oodded and gently closed the door
and barred It and cocked my ear.
Blie nudged me as the man on the
roof made falut scraping sound.
This was danger I had never count
ed upon To get at the fellow neces
sitated my loving the cabin, we
begnn talking to allay any simpletons
on his part, and (he girl said:
"He's moving along to git directly
over the door. We must fool him"
lUiMIng her to move about at th
rear of th cnhln and to keep on
talking, I atepped to the door and
In the notches cut In the logs, so that
one might climb to s crevice under
tli eaves and scrutinize the opeuMii
berore opening the door, gently placed
niy feet and pulled myself np until my
eyes were at the crevice. My head was
close to the roof and aa the girl
chattered along I heard the telltale
sound of the savnge working his way
down to the eaves and directly over
the door.
As I was about to descend, I was
further rewarded, for a moccuslned
foot dropped down across my narrow
range of vision. The Itnlluu wus sit
Jab ad
ting with one foot hanging down from
the eaves and wultlng for me to leave
the ruhln, when be would drop down
ufHin me. The roof was formed of
siipllng-slze pole covered with Inrye
sections of thick bark, which In turn
was held In place by poles running
lengthwise at regular Intervals. I
drew niy knife and gently Inserted
It between two of the poles, then de
sisted, as at tho most I woulo only
prick the Icllow and put I1I111 on hi'
guard.
Itegnlnlng the floor I moved a roigh
table, which t'ruzlur used for riK
playing tils trade-goods, close 10 the
chimney, and gave the girl nn Iron
prod and directed her to mund n Ihe
tiihle and pretend to be making an
opening throui;ti the roof, ghe neal
tnted and asked:
"You're going ontf
Nle'll be watching the chimney "
"There mny be two of 'em."
I ahif k my bend and held np a
finger and directed her to keep tulk
Ing In a loud voice aa aha aaaailed
the r.xif Then taking the short rifle
and loudlng It I tiptoed to the door
and nulielrsidy removed the bar and
waited.
The girl begun Jabbing the Iron rod
between two of the poke and culling
down to me to mount the table and
help her. Hhe made much nolte .n
yet I believed I cnught a fain' sound
from over the door. Lifting the door
to It would not sag nnd scrape the
floor, I worked It open wide enough
for me to puss out
"The rod's through the roof I cried
the glrL
At the same t'me a shout rose from
the forest I durted through the nor
row openlug and whirled about and
raised the rifle. One savage was
there and bad been on the point ol
crawling to the ridge-pole to Investi
gate the several Inches of Iron rod
showing Uirough the bark when the
yell from the woods had warned him
to be 00 bis guard. He must have
connected the outcry of his friend,
wltb the sudden apiuraiice ot the
rod, for be was on all foars snd
staring over his shoulder to where
his friends were In biding.
When be saw me the rifle was st my
shoulder. He made a convulsive effort
to hurl bla ax and mil off the roof,
but he was dead before he could
throw It.
From the Indians' point of view
there should bav been hut one thing
for them to d return st once with
their guns and endeavor to shout as
through the loopholes. Luckily for
us, tliey were not Inclined 10 rink sny
more of their men. I could hear their
leader shouting to them, but If he were
exhorting them lo charge, they had no
heart for It They renewed the attack
wltb Ore-arrows. With loose hides.
I putched the bare mts as far ss I
could rencb while the girl looped
rk lust together lo go over the rldue
polo. I had Iguored their musket tire
but when a small bullet whined close
to my head I knew some Indian 01
Frenchman had arrived on the scene
wltb a ride, and I lost nn time In Ink
Ing cover.
"Thut sounds like cannon," said the
girl as I closed and made fast the
door.
"It was title. We must be more
careful."
"I know a rifle when I bear It
Thut's what I mvim, mister."
I listened and heard It It was
thunder beyond any doubt I opened
the door a crock and reunited the
heavens. There was no storm In sight
"It's up the Monongnhela, I told ber.
"It's so far off I fear we won't get
even the skirt of It"
We oeeded much of It ; not only to
drencb the cabin but to cool the air
Inside. Wltb (he door closed and the
stout shutter In place over the one
ainull opeulng that served as a win
dow It was blood hot io tbe cabin.
Found ' Pleasure Only
The American business man, taking
his vucutton sbroud. Is one ol the most
depressing sights of the ttlvlura, ac
cording to Lloyd Morris, writing In
Harper'.
"I recull an Amvrlcun whom I met
on tbe terrace of restuuruht In the
hills back of Nice," he suys. "Ills
wife bad Inveigled hlin Into taking a
winter holiday; It was so much more
mart she said, than summer vaca
tion. They bad come to the Itlviera
for the winter. I Inquired whether be

up, 'back home my factory bns Just

Mured off Into the distance. He dldu l
see the vineyards In the valley below
or the blue Mediterranean, framed by
hills. And when be added wistfully,
The place wus so Inruffcruble from
smoke and powder fumes and the
heat that I rlaked a chance shot from
the forest by removing the shutter
and opening the door. The thunder
rolled ncroHi the sky sgnlo and tin
girl sighed: '
"l.ct s with It's a smart one and will
come ilila tvny."
I mude her drink some wuter and
wltb a pewler ill-li bullied her wrists
nnd slim neck. Hlie complained thut
I was winding It, and In the next mo
ment wus on the point of weeping as
she an Id no one hud been kind to ber,
except her crippled undo, since ber
mother's deulh. I brushed back ber
linlr and bathed her fort-head and
washed the smoke and grime from ber
f 11 ce and tried to be very gi-ntle wltb
her. I wus beginning to realize what
a slip of a thing she waa to be don
tlclpullng In such grim tragedies. I
nlr appreciated her oturdy spirit
Suddenly she drew awny from ass
and rearranged her hair and diffident
ly euld:
"You've been muster kind to me,
uilater. I wish I was a witch, like
folks tn (Ireut cove say. I'd change
you Into s boss, or a bird, and you'd
git cleur of nil this."
"Kit here. Ju! hedde the door, while
I stand Mulch I've never bad
chum to wall nn such a brave little
woman before."
"Ilool That's fooling." ahe ecoffed,
and eyeing me hi atirprlvi;. "You've
lieen In big solllciiifiii. You ve seen
women, melilie, who neioi we s Injun.
All I lie j have lo do la 'v liruve. If I
had a pair of shoe 111. ,vtoit amne of

"If we gel out ot (Ida. you 'hall have
1 lie gayest pulr ol almei to be found
lu Alexandria," I promised, and I
thought of Josephine and her love of
luxury and wondered how ahe would
huve endured the ordeal ol being cor
tiered In a trader's cabin at the mouth
of Turtle creek.
"I ain't used to have folka give me
things," ihe gravely told me. "We'll
have to think about thut." Then shy
ly: "Is Ihut where you wunt me to
go? To Alexandria, a reul b!g settle
ment?" In truth, I had given no thought
as to Just where rlie should go did we
escuie. Yet bow could I give ber a
pair of shoes In Alexr.idrla If she
were not there to receive them?
"If I go back there, yes. I have 00
home there now. Like yourself, I am
homeless."
This pleased her and she snuggled
sgaliiHt my knee and murmured:
"I in thinking It's mighty good that
you're like thut no borne. Yon can
build a borne anywhere. All you need
Is un sx snd Mine trees. If you'd bid
a home, you'd never have come poking
round Great cove. Lor e love I What
would buve happened to me If you
hadn't come along? At Will's creek,
too. And In that other cabin, when I
run awuy. And now here."
"You have nothing to thank me for,
I sadly told ber. "At all those places
you name, you have bad trouble be
causo I did go to the rove. Now we'll
close the door will's t take look at
the woods from the bsck of the cabin.
Tbe Indians are too quiet to suit me."
I bent down to the loopbole sad
Immediately called to ber to make
sure tbe bar waa firmly In place.
"Another right." she sighed. "And
'we wus having sucb 1 talk!"
I heard her reloading ber rifle, but
did not remove my eye from the bole.
Something was slowly approaching
the cabin. For a moment I could
not make It out and then glimpse
the top of a leather showing shove
the strange object Simultaneously
wltb my discovery, the Indians be
gnn Bring their guns st tbe front
of the cabin and yelling. I paid no
heed to the gunfire and the ehontlna
for the real menace was where the
feather bobbed and slowly advanced
She elbowed me aside and after a
glome Informed me:
"They've fastened some of the Skin
together and are holding ttcm In

I fired my rifle. The moving bar

It seemed to be very long time
